The world offers a few venues unique to human existence. I’ve wanted to swim in the Dead Sea since my friend Dan Swenson told me about his experience there. The Sea has healing properties which are not completely understood. Diving in, allowing the oil-like water to course around you as you swim, it’s very relaxing. That, coupled with the fact that the water’s gravity makes humans float like wooden rafts, makes the Dead Sea medicinal for the mind as well.
18 kilometers across, sixty kilometers north-to-south and shrinking; the Dead Sea is neither what it was nor what it will be. Humans are starving it of it’s historically available, replenishing veins of water. From the beach, one can clearly make out Israel and the West Bank. I realized today that I am in The Holy Land. Jordan is perhaps the least problematic of any middle-eastern nation. If you can make it here, I recommend it highly.
Terrorists do not meet there goals with high body counts, or with the taking of innocent life, or in the destruction of buildings and landmarks. Terrorists meet there ends when the living adapt their lives out of fear and not courage. Visiting the nations of this region is more important than ever and Jordan invites you.
